@@ericwilkinson1672 Huh? Who is talking about Delta? Yeah, you can use it as a probability but it’s actually the rate of change for every dollar in the underlining. Gamma influences delta. The closer you get to expiration the more gamma messes with Delta.

@@MyPrescriptions yeah, I’ve been profitable trading options but there’s a lot of lessons you need to learn. Like buy options with low volatility and sell them with high volatility, close spreads at 50% because its almost impossible to roll for a credit, etc. And I’m still learning… For instance, I like to buy leaps, deep in the money and far out in time and then sell covered calls against them to reduce my cost basis. But if you go to deep and too far out there may not be a market, so you have to be careful not to get screwed by the market makers… And of course, only trade options in highly liquid stocks.

@10:05... thank you for explaining Theta. In my six short months as an options seller, I have been so wrapped around the axle over understanding the importance of extrinsic value that it has kept me up at night. Everywhere I turn to learn about it all I get is a definition, but not a deep enough understanding of the importance and effects. Let's see... it's the difference between the market price of an option (premium) and its intrinsic price; there's more of it when there's more time and higher volatility; it's the opposite of the inherent worth of an option, which is intrinsic value. And let's not forget to bolt on the caveat, and let's punctuate it in latin because even though it explains nothing more it just sounds smarter: "ceteris paribus." Like you said @11:57, we know that by the expiration of an option contract the price of the underlying will be different, and probably so will the volatility. So, forget about "all things being equal." OMG, thank you for saying that!! But what does extrinsic value tell us now about the future before we get there? Is it simply the premium we can make on the underlying today as a reward for taking the risk of holding the option through time and volatility changes? What are we looking for in regards to extrinsic value and/or theta? What do we need to keep track of as far as extrinsic value and/or theta is concerned now and through the life of the option contract, either as options sellers or buyers? For theta, bigger is better? And what does that number look like at the opening of a trade, e.g., the deciding factor (similar to your recommended >=30 delta benchmark for an option seller)? I've just found your channel today and have subscribed to it and will search through your vids in hopes to find a deeper understanding that you have shared. Else, perhaps it could be a much-needed topic or deeper dive for a future vid. Thanks for this vid!

So, when you are choosing an option based off of the Greeks alone (hypothetically), you said you wanted your delta to be a .7 or above.. what is your target for the other Greeks? Also, what is your strategy for actually finding the option play you want?
@BradFinn
@BradFinn 3 жыл бұрын
the other greeks are more "high" and "low" values, not specific. like when I buy an option I want a small theta. when I sell and option I want a high theta. I want a small Vega.. they all play off each other and are different for different situations.

Great video, as you explain it I was starting to comprehend what it was you were saying. unfortunately I have always been the guy who learns by doing. I have tried to learn by taking direction but always failed until I did it or seen it done a few times. I know there is probably hundreds of different trades on each stock. just looking at the tesla stock there was a huge list of different calls available. and you would never have time to make a video going through all of them to see what we should be looking for . but i will continue to watch ALL your videos to try to get the information down. so I can use it to make my financial situation better. I appreciate you just taking the time to teach through KZbin. I believe ALL Americans should know how to trade, buy, sell, stocks and options . It should be taught in school as we all know a very small percentage of children graduating from high school will become financially independent in todays world. and that is not necessarily a bad thing the world needs mechanics, and teachers, police officers and fire fighters too. but I am a firm believer in ever class of American being able to take advantage of the stock market . or at least understanding how it works so they have some idea of how they can put themselves in the best position for retirement. or to pay for college for their children, or to buy a home etc etc etc . Most Americans have no idea how credit works or how their credit score can be affected and what it actually means when it is affected up or down. they have no idea that their credit score is going to determine what they will pay for a vehicle, a home, or business loan. credit and stock market classes should be mandatory in all American public schools. from the time they are in maybe 3rd grade going forward as knowledge of these two things will make or break someone's financial standing for the rest of their lives. unless they win Powerball or Mega millions and even then this knowledge would help even if they had hundreds of millions of dollars .

I basically just do the wheel strategy with one stock and it seems to be doing fine. The only Greek I look at is the delta. Try to keep around the .35 range and I've been doing fine collecting premiums. Doesn't feel optimal but it's easy

great video! Just started to trade options couple of weeks ago and made some good gains (20%-100%). I like to view Tiprank and find most active stock options, and within those id go with good stable companies with good PE ratio (dividends too). then i like a delta of .5 to .8. I pick ITM calls or deep ITM, and purchase 1-2 contracts per day with expiration date 1-2 weeks in the future.

You can play earnings and avoid IV crush by buying ITM options. Not one's that are right on the border, but semi-deep ITM. Say if the share price is $80 and you expect an earnings beat, buy a $70 call. You'll avoid IV crush. Another way is to reduce risk by buying debit spreads. Also, if thinking about playing earnings, go ahead and look at options order flow for the day of earnings. I do this strategy and make a lot of money playing earnings.

Great video and congrats on 77k subs! I think there are a few points I'd add onto this. The Greeks are derived under the Black-Scholes model. This might sound a little pedantic, but I think it's significant: delta can be thought not as the actual probability of the option expiring ITM, but the probability of that happening under the Black-Scholes model, which assumes stock price returns are log-normally distributed. In more chaotic times, the assumptions made by the model break down. The BS model is used a lot today, so Delta kind of tells us what the MARKET thinks the probability of that happening is, not the actual probability (but these may or may not be very close). It might be worth looking up the "volatility smile/skew". It also implies that implied vol is constant over the option's lifetime, which is demonstrably incorrect. It's very difficult to model volatility though, and so BS model works fine when vol isn't changing too much.

Something interesting to note is that you can use Delta to calculate your leverage multiplier by dividing Delta (as a whole number not a decimal) by the option price and multiplying it by the share price.
